We are constantly exposed to a fast-changing news cycle. While this means that we obtain news from many diverse sources, it also means we are unable to delve as deep as we would like into the many complexities of the decisions we have to process daily. This is where Emma Drake and Sweta Daboo come in, providing a progressive, in-depth analysis of many, many issues, mingling seriousness with good humour. This is Dialogue, the progressive podcast on policy, politics, and pop culture.
It’s our last episode for 2021 and we’re doing things differently this time! This episode is divided into 4 parts: The #PEIPOLI roundup, the gifts panel for last minute shopping, a list of places to donate to this winter, and finally, things to do on the sandbar these next few weeks. Thank you for tuning in these last months, we'll see you next year!

Episode 43: Investigative Journalism
The power of journalism can be best explained by its informal title, the Fourth Estate, giving it as much power as the other three estates: for olden times, these were the clergy, nobles and the commoners, while for modern times we tend to see the first three estates as the three branches of government, or the legislative, executive and judiciary branches. Investigative journalism includes in-depth reporting and detailed investigative pieces, beyond every day happenings. In November 2021, an investigative article was published on CBC PEI, entitled “Rash of drink-spiking incidents goes unchecked by police in Charlottetown”. This article uncovers survivors’ experiences with drink tampering, sexual assault, and access to justice. Nationally, CBC’S Fifth Estate produces a number of documentary-format news reports that provide a detailed perspective on a number of issues. To chat all things investigative reporting, with us today is author and journalist, Kate McKenna.
